Question:

Dreebyshaw Industries must set its investment and dividend policies for the coming year. It has three independent projects from which to choose, each of which requires a $3 million investment. These projects have different levels of risk, and therefore different costs of capital. Their projected IRRs and costs of capital are as follows: 

Project A: Cost of capital = 17%; IRR = 20%.

Project B: Cost of capital = 13%; IRR = 10%.

Project C: Cost of capital = 7%; IRR = 9%.

Dreebyshaw intends to maintain its 35% debt and 65% common equity capital structure, and its net income is expected to be $4,750,000. If Dreebyshaw maintains its residual dividend policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends), what will its payout ratio be?
